What’s this? A bonus Tuesday? More spam!

I like how there’s absolutely no indication as to what company this is offering me “membership”. For all I know it’s some sort of terrorist organization.

I do indeed want to load all generative AI creators and users into a rocket and then send the rocket into the fire of the sun.

I love how there are three gigantic warning flags just in this short message: 1. All the emojis; 2. Direct deposited (eye roll); and 3. The fact that they don’t get the comma in the right place in the dollar number. If you’re falling for this, you need help.
 

Even shorter than the last one and with twice as many red flags. Kudos.

Just loved how this was on my last Spamfiles post. Very appropriate.

Spam week! Let’s see how they’re trying to scam me now.

So much to get into here. Honestly, the “days” thing is an annoying mistake, but I am offended at the use of n apostrophe in place of and.

…Just how old do you think I am?

I don’t remembering entering all these contests where I’ve won an toolset, but they just keep coming in.

Wow! I was selected to received a direct deposited of $750 from an app I never even signed up for! Miraculous!

The most annoying part of this is that Virtual Starlight Kid sounds like a real Tumblr name, and I wish it was mine.

Yay! I missed this.

“Barbara spies” I’m sure she does, which is why I’m not giving her any info.

More free tool sets. It really bothers me that they’re using an in front of consonants. What is up with that?

$250-$500 per days. 🙄 How many days? Probably around five hundred.

Diego really isn’t giving up. But he’s involved with AI, so he’s worse than a scammer, he’s a total scumbag thief.

Aviator game? I’ve never heard of it. He also failed to make it in any way sound interesting. This is why you work on your elevator pitches, people.

This is quite a bit less depressing than everything that’s going on in the world.

Obvious Scam Sign #1: the “per Days” thing, which is just bad grammar; Obvious Scam Sign #2: the heart eyes emoji, which, come on, weird; Obvious Scam Sign #3: the amount it pays, which is an actual living wage and almost no job pays that.

The unusual activity is that I don’t have a Facebook account.

Since I shouldn’t have to go through the obvious scam signs again, I’ll just speculate what FaceSwap might be. Is it like the movie Face/Off? I never actually saw that one.

They catch the fish and immediately drive it to your door. Save fifteen dollars!

Love that it’s a dot au domain. I guess this is the Australian Peoples Credit Union, which isn’t much use to me.

I love these posts. They’re so easy. Spam is one item always in abundance.

It’s spam, but probably doesn’t steal as much personal information as Meta does.

I guess they’re trying to tell me my account is suspended? It’s hard to tell since most of it is just random letters. If you’re going to spam, at least make it clear.

Mizmos! It’s just fun to say.

I am immediately suspicious of any one wanting to put a guest post on my blog. I have like three followers. Clearly they don’t know what they’re doing.

How are the spammers trying to scam me this month?

I was going to comment on the whole I M ran thing, or the i rana, but then I saw that it boasts “human-written” articles, and I got bummed that that’s now something we have to say.

Don’t know how I ended up on this mailing list, or why the name involved is “Jeurytqzw”. It sounds like someone sneezed.

Viv at Vivcity is sending me a ten digit number. Just for fun, I guess.

Well, it’s Facebook, so I assume the unusual activity is implying people shouldn’t be allowed to be bigots and maybe scientists who’ve spent decades studying things actually know what they’re talking about.

Yes, there’s nothing that screams “Not a bot” more than a user name of 123456787…

It’s that magical time again! Let’s look at the scams people somehow actually fall for.

This spammer seems to think the more punctuation they use, the more legitimate they look. They should have thrown in some semi-colons and parentheses.

Leaving aside the fact that I don’t use CBD, this is inviting me to a Black Friday sale. While this message is old, it’s not six months old. This is like from February. It’s a little late!

It’s got a circle R, it must be real!

The first one didn’t work, so they figured throwing some emojis in there would make it look more realistic.

Rajani was making the rounds again a few months back. And I think a few weeks ago. She shows up a lot here.

From The Spamfiles

Bonus spam day! I hope I don’t run out. The spam well has been surprisingly dry lately.

Where to begin? I suppose the most egregious insult is that there’s an apostrophe before the S in greetings. Though abbreviating attention is also offensive.

If you put “an” before a number beginning with one, you can get the hell out of my house and never come back.

 

An Power Station. They’re doing this to spite me.

I’m sending this to myself. Also, I’m a costumer.

It’s always the posts that are years old that they comment on. On Tumblr commenting on old posts is actually very normal. On literally everything else it’s just suspicious.

It’s spam day!

Yeah, that email address just screams peace of mind.

Soooo. Is this from the AARP or this Explore Life thing? I mean, obviously it’s not really from any of those. I’m just confused at what it’s pretending to be. How do people fall for these scams?

It’s all the emojis that really sell this as being legitimate. Along with the circle R after UPS. It’s totally fake without that.

Well, why don’t you get back to me when iCloud ® succeeds to attempt payment.

Pushy perver. I can’t even.

From The Spamfiles

It’s spam day again!

What’s the logic here? “If she doesn’t believe it’s a Facebook ID at this number, she’ll believe it at this one!”?

I like how his name is in brackets there, so it looks even more like its mass produced with different names in that place.

So it’s basically the Facebook scam with a fresh coat of paint. Wow, these are formulaic.

So I won a contest that was run by myself? Huh, I don’t remember doing that…
 

They just put attractive in the blog name now. They’re not even trying!
